Buster dragged me off in the Prius to the beach so we could ruminate about how much we hate Ben Stiller. It was Mr. Bigglesworth's 2nd birthday, and all the doodles and labradoodles and goldendoodles and bichonoodles were running around grinning from ear to ear. Ah, joy!

Who could concentrate on how much they hate Ben Stiller at the beach?

And, there's not a whole lot to do with cupcakes at the beach, except there is a giant all-white Bulldog that Buster always tries to dig holes with named Cupcake.

Last night we had Trixie, a ten year old tiny miniature poodle, and her mom come over to watch "A Serious Man" with us. Trixie stole Buster's hoof and growled at him for trying to get it back. WAAA-AY more entertaining than "A Serious Man". Poor Larry Gopnick. Have you ever noticed how many synonyms for "tool" there are in Yiddish? Schmuck, Putz, Yutz, Shmendrick. We like to say things in Yiddish because it's fun and it reminds us of Nana who used to say things like "umpie".

We thought of a catchphrase: "Hey, nice cupcakes!" It doesn't even have any remotely dirty connotations.
